I'm not a fan of Nadech & Yaya, especially not a fan of Nadech. But at least this was a funny watch. They did real kiss (then towards the end they did 2x fake one then real again... that got me a bit confused:) and the lenght of just 10 episodes was a PLUS for me. For mostly I did not like the cast and was not very interested to see something serious with them, so this short comedy was bearable just right.
Even short as it is, you need to wait till it starts happening, which is in episode 4 out of 10.
Gotta say, Nadech acting all girly-girly is finally a role fitting to him. As without much makeup, and doing male face expressions (actually better than real Nadech has) Yaya DOES look more manly than him. That was ingenious to make them do such script. I had great fun, especially with Yaya's acting as a guy (actually she surprised me as an actress, she was not just able to make me laugh by funny overplaying the different sex role, at times she was really convincing) because Nadech as a girl was somehow morelike... scary truth:-) I don't agree that this drama fell short in the romance department in the slightest. Nevertheless, I honestly wish for no more lakorns of this pairing. Yaya hopefully finds someone else to koo-jin with (though after this performance it's almost pitty to let her play "just a girl" again) and Nadech can move to Line TV or GMM25...
Action scenes were a treat and I usually SKIP those in lakorns!:)
It was not just about the action, also the action's meaning. What it meant to be someone's buddy in arms (without words it explained perfectly why would Arkom lie for Ramin for so long, even at his own expense). I just can say, stuff that started happening in epi 8 made my jaw drop and I considered giving even the 10 rating to the lakorn.
It ended too soon. I wasn't keen on last episode and a half. But I think if they'd take the best stuff from epis 4-9 it would make a great oldschool fun movie, like they made years back:-) I also thought Arkom & NokYoong totally adorable, and didn't get the comments bashing NokYoong's character. If there was someone usufferably annoying here, then it was Bookko Thanatchaphan's character or Top Daraneenute's character, definitely not Ice Preechaya's! Same goes for criticizing the lead characters: had they be typical good boy & good girl, most humour scenes and the plot could not work.
Note: This has higher than average rating (also higher than any previous Yaya & Nadech lakorn rating) from me as I usually do suffer BOREDOM through majority amount of lakorns, and this was not the case (here, I had to fastforward the two unwatchable "managers" only). Also, my prominent dislike for Nadech Kugimiya can serve you as a good warrant that any lakorn with decent rating that has him as the lead really had to earn that rating. After all, this was about meaningful stuff about relationships and not birth mystery, family inheritance, forced marriage and amnesia like most lakorns:)
Rewatch value: epi 4-9.
Most favorite scene: Ramin appears at Arkom's doorstep (in Petra's body), telling him categorically that they're both immediatelly leaving together because they need to rescue Ramin (actually helpless Petra:) and all that followed (actually Yaya & Tor scene;)
P.S.: Very interesting that name of the nang'ek was 'Petra'. Of course, everyone mostly called her 'Peta', as thai have general problem with pronouncing.
